happiness is when your teammate wins and you celebrate together! 🎊🏆🎊 we ( holger, damodara and I from the @supsportclub ) made a spontanous trip to the slowenian kayak downwind/open ocean championships where a good pack of sup paddlers also took part in the 15km race down the coastline from koper to portoroz 🙌🏻 the start was in a bay, so I thought outside it will be a little wind and pumps to ride...my raceplan was to stay in the pack and relax... let the young gun @damodara_m899 on his brand new flatwater board go alone until we reach the downwind part. so I had nice first 5km with @rokpuvar and @domagojpaukovic leading the pack with a super strong @caterinastenta and andrej spelic going together in calm sea. when we came out of the bay I recognized that there was no wind... and the choppy water was not made to surf it 😅😱🙈 damodara was already 500m in the lead...so I started to push hard to catch him... at the end I came close enough to stress him out and make him reach a new heartrate records 🤪 but he was strong enough to stay in front of me and take the well deserved win! 🏆🎊🏆 THANK YOU @kajakkanuklubzusterna for the warm welcome and the perfect organisation! 🤩❤️🙏🏻 we will be back for sure! 💯 #slowenia #nodownwind #suptraining #bredder #supsportclubgraz #supgraz #vitaminwell #standuppaddlegraz #lb9brand #lb9 #supclubgraz #fanatic #fanaticsup #fanaticaustria #standoutsupwear #doyoustandout #standout #ionactionsports #ionaustria #austria #graz #sup #vitaminwellaustria #standuppaddling #standuppaddle #addictedtoride #asvösteiermark #iamsupracer #chrisdiver (at Koper, Slovenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8v_wgthSa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
